Armoured power cable (10) for transporting an alternate current comprising at least one core (12), comprising an electric conductor (12a), and an armour (16), surrounding the at least one core (12), comprising a plurality of armour wires (16a) having a ferromagnetic inner portion (162) and an electrically conductive cladding (164).
Abstract:
Method and armoured cable for transporting an alternate current I at a maximum allowable working conductor temperature T, as determined by the overall cable losses, said overall cable losses including conductor losses and armour losses. The cable (10) comprises at least one core (12), comprising an electric conductor (12a) having a cross section area S, and an armour (16) surrounding said core (12) along a circumference (O). The method comprises: - causing the armour losses being not higher than 40% of the overall cable losses by having said armour (16) made with a layer of a plurality of metal wires (16a) having an elongated cross section with major axis A', said major axis A' being oriented tangentially with respect to the circumference (O); transporting said alternate current I, at said maximum allowable working conductor temperature T, in the electric conductor (12a) having cross section area S sized on said overall cable losses including said armour losses not higher than 40% of the overall cable losses.
